In 2006 Delta Instruments introduced the LactoScope FTIR Advanced. After the huge success of the LactoScope FTIR manual, Delta thought it was time to take FTIR Technology to the next level.

The LactoScope FTIR Advanced has the ability to measure various dairy products next to milk, cream and whey. Good examples are yoghurt, ice cream and cheese.

The analyzer is provided with a state of the art database structured software package (FTIR Scope Advanced). This software guides you intuitively through analyses and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) procedures. User friendliness is ensured by using Windows and through the user interface. To reduce cost of calibration samples, the new FTIR Scope Advanced software introduces an unique concept of calibration synchronization.

Specifications

The LactoScope FTIR Advanced is able to measure many different components which are visible in the milk spectrum, next to the basic components (fat, protein, lactose, solids),
for example:

Cheese Application
The Cheese Application makes it possible to analyze the properties of your cheese just after your production process with only a small investment. Knowing the properties at an early stage can optimize the production process. Therefore resulting in less waste and bottom line savings for your company.

This method is cheaper, less time consuming and not hazardous in comparison to traditional chemical methods to determine the properties of your cheese.
Cost savings can also be realized if analyses are no longer outsourced and can be combined with your milk analyses using the LactoScope FTIR Advanced.
The Cheese Application can also be considered if companies want to replace their NIR analyzers and/or their existing milk analyzers.

The principle is based on liquefying the cheese with a patented solvent. In just 60 seconds a specially designed mixer obtains a perfectly homogenous, stable milk like suspension that is ready for analysis on the LactoScope FTIR Advanced. Fat, protein, salt, moisture, and pH can be measured in a wide range of cheeses.
